Key Takeaways:

  • The International Aircraft Dealers Association's (IADA) Q3 2024 report indicates strong growth, with new acquisition agreements up 22% year-over-year and closed deals marking the highest Q3 volume since 2020.
  • The market is experiencing a "resetting of value expectations," reflected in a significant increase in reduced-price listings and slightly lower pricing for buyers compared to two years ago, though increased inventory is being absorbed by demand, especially in midsize and light jets.
  • Despite initial geopolitical and election-related hesitations, market uncertainty is diminishing, leading to an optimistic outlook for an active Q4 2024, with the market, including insurance, shifting to be more buyer-driven.
